Breme creates Caribbean-themed fun
The team at our Breme home in Bromsgrove transported residents to tropical shores with a brilliant Barbados-themed day, an enriching experience designed to bring warmth, fun and connection during the winter months.
From the moment residents’ families and friends stepped into the home, they were greeted with an immersive Caribbean atmosphere. The reception shimmered with an under-the-sea mermaid theme, while the beach-themed décor and colourful balloon arches created a tropical feeling throughout the building.
Resident Carol Bridgewater said: “We danced, laughed and got to experience a bit of sunshine in the winter months. I had the best day – we all did!”
The day-long celebration featured a live singer and talented steelpan drummer playing reggae favourites, dancing and even a cheerful conga line weaving through the home.
Residents enjoyed delicious home-made themed cuisine, cocktails and plenty of singing, creating a holiday mood that felt wonderfully realistic.
“It was such a fun day,” resident Binnie Lammas shared. “I really felt like we were all on holiday, and the cocktails and food were lovely too!”
To enhance the sense of adventure, residents explored beach-themed sensory boxes and even took part in a virtual reality trip to a Barbados shoreline. The arrival of visitors, including residents from Sanctuary Care’s sister home in nearby Redditch, Brambles Residential Care Home, and family added to the occasion, emphasising the home’s focus on creating a sense of community and belonging.
Reflecting on the event, Home Manager Lauren Smith said: “The residents loved it! Events like this truly enrich our residents' lives and it was incredible to see so much laughter and joy from all residents and staff. Staff took immense pride in creating the vibrant atmosphere that brought everyone together. We’re already planning our next event!”
